Associated Apparel Industries, Inc. was a Chicago, Illinois women's undergarment business which flourished in the late 1920s prior to going bankrupt in 1933. The company is significant because of its expansion and central position as a leader in its field. The corporation eventually succumbed to the poor economy in the United States during the Great Depression.〔 ==Extension and insolvency== The women's underwear manufacturer acquired Venus Company and Lamode Garment Company in January 1928, adding $3,000,000 in annual revenue.〔''Associated Apparel Industries'', Wall Street Journal, November 24, 1928, pg. 2.〕 Associated Apparel, Inc., planned to build a plant in Germany to handle its product in central Europe.
